Madonna has been spotted strolling with a friend in her Upper East Side neighborhood just ten days after her “lifeless body” was found in her home.

The 64-year-old was seen wearing giant sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat and Nike sneakers — and that she leaned somewhat heavily on a lamppost while waiting to cross the street.

Pictures shared on TikTok by podcaster Lauren Conlin show Madonna seeming to have no trouble walking, although she was taking her time.

It comes as details about Madonna’s medical emergency was revealed last week and were “far worse” than what was publicly known.

Calling her sudden hospitalisation a “brush with death”, the people who discovered Madonna were forced to administer Narcan, which is the brand name for a class of synthetic drug called naloxone.

While Narcan is most commonly associated with treating suspected drug overdoses due to its ability to block opiate receptors, it is also used to reverse septic shock which Madonna was said to have suffered from.

Friends fear the famously driven Madonna pushed herself to the limit.

There was no suggestion that Narcan was used due to a drug overdose when Madonna was discovered. Previous statements said she was hospitalised in intensive care due to a serious bacterial infection.

Quoting anonymous sources, RadarOnline added that Madonna’s 10-year-old twins, Estere and Stella, were home at the time of the incident, but that the Queen of Pop was found by an assistant.

Reps for Madonna did not immediately respond to requests from multiple media outlets, including The New York Post, which was unable to confirm the details of the alleged Narcan administration.

O’Donnell’s update came after she posted what appeared to be a throwback photo of herself and Madonna on the set of their 1992 film A League of Their Own.

“Remember when? #league #mo,” O’Donnell captioned the post.

Madonna’s longtime manager Guy Oseary revealed last week that the star had been battling a “serious bacterial infection” in hospital.

Her much-anticipated tour, which will celebrate her 40-year career, was due to kick off in Vancouver on July 15 before taking in the US and Europe.

According to People magazine, the star had been working relentlessly in the run-up to the stadium tour despite feeling ill.

“She ignored some symptoms of illness for quite a while because she thought they would go away. But she didn’t want to take time away from rehearsals,” the source claimed.

“She was rundown and not feeling 100 per cent for a while in anticipation of her tour.

“She is relentless in her quest to be the best, to wow her fans and to do what others before her have not done.”

Another source told the publication; “Madonna has been very busy for a long time and not taking care of herself. She just continues to push herself beyond the limit.”
